If it was January I was training to ship out to Vietnam. Found out a few days before shipping out that they sent the last man over and I was shipped to Fort Lewis for AIT and assignment to the 9th Infantry division... January 14, 1973..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I didn't read the thread...
Elvis was a pretty face when he was young. Otherwise he was a complete and utter clown retard.

My Father signed my ROTC contract on 01/15/73, a Monday, as I was still a minor child of 17.

I got married that summer. I never cared much for Elvis anyway and what he was doing was WAY down my list of interests.

I was 20 years old, working a job at near minimum wage trying to feed/house my family! Going to a concert (any concert) was way beyond anything I could afford! memtb

Like kwg, I was in Fort Leonard Wood, that summer - Basic and AIT.

I was 10 yra old. I am sure I remember the night. My parents went out on the Friday night and let us watch it on TV. Us 5 sat home in the middle of winter, oldest was 11 , me 10 and the parents never thought anything of it. We didnt know it but those were very good times in America , except for Vietnam.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

I was three years into my work life, having been blessed with a good draft lottery number, 108! Still have my draft card marked 1H, not currently subject to induction.
Had a new Camaro too, a SS Rally Sport 396 (actually a 402). Pretty car, but it had pretty much a station wagon 396, not a good one.
What fresh Hell is this?

I was in college on a campus that had 7 women for every guy on campus, mainly a teacher college... Lotta horney girls, so most of us guys figured it was our patriotic and moral duty to keep ourselves in high circulation to satisfy all of those horney girls. I sure was doing my part....  Go Yellow Jackets? If so, was there 2years later. Was still about the same ratio and happenings…

I was in high school and milking cows for four hours in the morning and again for fore hours when I got home.
Who was this "Elvis?"
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.
